Anger
From Textus Receptus
Etymology
From Old Norse angr (“affliction, sorrow”), from ang (“troubled”). Cognates include Danish anger (“regret”), Swedish ånger (“regret”), Old English ange (“oppressed, sad”), Latin angō (“squeeze, choke, vex”), Ancient Greek ἄγχω (ankhō, “I squeeze, strangle”), Sanskrit अंहु (aṃhu, “anxiety, distress”). Also compare anguish, anxious, quinsy, and perhaps to awe and ugly. The word seems to have originally meant “to choke, squeeze”.
